My husband changed ram in his computer which worked fine but he wanted more ram. After installing more ram now the monitor indicator light will come on green for a few seconds then turn orange but monitor doesn't light up at all. What is wrong??

We sent the computer to Texas to our "tecky" brother-in-law and he said it was the motherboard. Thanks everyone for your help.We sent the computer to Texas to our "tecky" brother-in-law and he said it was the motherboard. Thanks everyone for your help.

Open the computer case back up, after unplugging it. Take new RAM out. Check ALL cable connections inside, also take video card out and reseat it back into it's slot. Now power on computer. If video works then suspect bad RAM. Turn pc back off, unplug, reinstall new RAM, repolace case, but be certain No cable was accidently bumped or jarred aloose. before replacing case, plug pc back in and power on, if it still will not come on, then you have a bad RAM stick. Sned it back for a replacement. I have had a few of these over the years, I hope this helps, but let me know.

enough is enough
get legal advice , union action what ever but bullying is not acceptable in the work place
report it to the manager , division manager or CEO of the company
you have rights to a code of conduct that has to be adhere to by all employees and staff

If its a ram problem then you should not get anything out of it at all. If it generates any beep codes or anything then it probably isn't the ram.

First thing to try is reseat the cards and check the ram. You may want to go back to your original ram and see if those work. If it works on the old ram then the problem is either the new stuff being the wrong type , wrong speed, or not being seated properly. Usually its just the wrong type or speed. You may find that even though it says it is the correct thing it won't work. You get that a lot with cheaper ram brands.

Trick is to go back to a working configuration and then change one thing to rule things out.
